Kimberly McKillop

Kimberly McKillop is a Social Worker located in Nashville, TN who works with young adults and adults, including individuals and couples. She is passionate about working with clients who struggle with insecurity in their lives, whether that’s with their body image, in their relationships, or at work. Sometimes, this codependency can result in codependency, anxiety, intense feelings of worthlessness, and life transitions. Kimberly also works with many couples who face issues relating to infidelity and life transitions.

Kimberly’s approach to therapy draws from many different approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy. Her goal is to help clients better understand the relationships between their thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also teaches clients how to interrupt negative thought patterns to temper emotional and physical reactions to distress. Clients also learn from Kimberly effective coping techniques and self-compassion practices.

Kimberly earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California. Her style is nonjudgmental and engaged, and her therapy sessions are trauma-informed to help those who have gone through traumatic experiences. She is empathetic and empowering as a therapist, helping clients find a sense of security in their lives. She is prelicensed in both the State of Tennessee and Florida.
